In memoriam of the last surviving cast member, Madeleine Lebeau (19 in this), who has died aged 92. Herself a refugee from France, her husband Marcel Dalio plays the croupier Emil. Joy Page, who was only 17 when she appeared in this, was 83 when she died in 2008. Pickpocket Curt Bois was probably the one who had the longest career, as he was still acting in 1987 in Wings of Desire.
Ingrid is fabulous. She only made it to 67 (cancer), Bogie too (57). Featuring the beloved S.Z. Sakall (Sándor Gärtner) and the reliable John Qualen, this is a perfect film.
